The fuck? I've been holding down a finger and trying to scroll to the right spot (which usually fucks up when I release the hold) for years.
hexbear boomers get wowed by obvious technological banalities
Obvious? When did you learn this sorcery
several years ago at least
.... i'm a 90s kid....
Holy fuck THANK YOU you've removed a regular annoyance from my life
OH MY GOD THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING
Entirely depends what keyboard you're using, but usually, yeah.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Years of being frustrated with trying to get the cursor in the right place and I could have just been doing this??????????????????

Are these zoomer texting secrets that let those whippersnappers type so fast??

Oh gee you might as well ask me to use dvorak ๐
Whaaa I foundit very easy to adopt
Honestly i love learning new systems, i'd switch if i hadnt started using a new app three days ago
Edit:, okay Im try it. My password is so long its brutal lol this edit took five minutes. Its fun!
Gonna test this now
Bulltshit, on iOS it scrolls through predictive text suggestions
You have to press and hold for a second
just doesn't work for me, assumed it must be an android thing, weird
edit:
tried it again and it is working now
doesn't work on Android
IPhone doesn't need it because they have that magnifier thing above the cursor.
It's nice but still usually a bit of a pain to move like exactly one character
AFAIK Lineage always had arrow keys in the bottom row next to the back/home/menu buttons which was super convenient
Holyyyyyyyy
Doesn't work for me :( just brings up the change keyboard menu
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I just started using
Unexpected Keyboard (Lightweight and privacy-conscious virtual keyboard for Android.) https://f-droid.org/packages/juloo.keyboard2/
its pretty good, it has lots of useful shortcuts,including copy and paste
I'm testing this.
What the fuck?
Omg
There was a brief, glorious time when iPhone X and XS users could press firmly anywhere on the keyboard to switch to cursor control
I think if you press on the spacebar and move around you can still do this on iPhone, I've definitely used one recently that you could move the cursor up, down, left & right by moving your held finger on the spacebar.
Idk I'm using Openboard, does not work.
Fuckin a! Cool tip.
Damn
Surprised by how many people don't know this. I guess thanks for making me feel young
